Cervical Cancer Screening: 21-65

Census Tract: 06111002905
Measurement Period: 2020
This indicator shows the percentage of women aged 21-65 who have had a cervical cancer screening test. This is a Pap test every 3 years for women 21-29; and a Pap test every 3 years or an HPV test and Pap test every 5 years for women 30-65.

Why is this important?

Cervical cancer forms in tissues of the cervix (the organ that connects the uterus and vagina) and is slow-growing. Cervical cancer that is detected early is one of the most successfully treatable cancers, and can be cured by removing or destroying the pre-cancerous or cancerous tissue. Cervical cancer is detected by Pap test screenings and is most often caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a type of infection transmitted through sexual contact and can lead to cervical cancer.
